I am starting classes towards becoming an IT professional, any advice?

I just finished my first quarter at my local Tech College in networking. I hope to start a career in the IT field. At present I have a nebulous plan to become a network administrator or system analyst or something like that. I think i want to go CISCO but I am not sure if it is the better choice or if Microsoft would be wiser.

I am in an Associates degree program, well actually pursuing two associates(the other in Management). I would appreciate any advice or pointers I can get. Specifically about career paths(networking, security, project management, etc.), and vendor disciplines (Microsoft, Cisco, vendor neutral). Also about OS's. I know nothing at all about linux as yet.

    Well. While you are in college you should concentrate on being in college. Save your money and don't take professional classes until you are out of college. Work on being in all the college plays. You have never been in a play? Why not?You can't put together a resume if you have never been in a play.? What collete is this that has a theatre major and no plays? No, you are not on the right track. I think you are hallucinating. You say you have done no acting except a monologue and then you have to be in community plays because there are none at college? This is crazy.

    If you have a choice between software and hardware, go software, there is much more money in software.
